pyenv can't find/use pip (pip3 is found though)

Trying to migrate from virtualenv to venv (python3). Also would like to use pyenv to manage multiple versions of python 3.x on my Mac.

Following this article, I installed pyenv, pyenv-virtualenv and pyenv-virtualenvwrapper via brew without a problem:

brew install pyenv
brew install pyenv-virtualenv
brew install pyenv-virtualenvwrapper

Modified my .zsh_env.sh in ~/.config/zsh_env.sh like so:

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/workspace

eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

Installed two Python versions:

➜  ~ pyenv versions
  system
  2.7.15
* 3.7.2 (set by /Users/ugur/.python-version)

Trying to create a virtual environment, but I get a complaint that pip is missing:

➜  ~ pyenv virtualenv 3.7.2 jupyter3
pyenv: pip: command not found

The `pip' command exists in these Python versions:
  2.7.15

If I try to run pip in my terminal, I get the same error:

➜  ~ pip
pyenv: pip: command not found

The `pip' command exists in these Python versions:
  2.7.15

pip3 seems to be installed/seen though:

➜  ~ pip3

Usage:
  pip3 <command> [options]

Commands:
  install                     Install packages.
  download                    Download packages.
... (omitted)

How can I use pyenv in combination with venv to manage environments and python versions?

Edit

Tried to install pip via pip3 like so (without success):

➜  ~ pip3 install pip
Requirement already satisfied: pip in ./.pyenv/versions/3.7.2/lib/python3.7/site-packages (18.1)
You are using pip version 18.1, however version 19.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
➜  ~ pip install --upgrade pip
pyenv: pip: command not found

The `pip' command exists in these Python versions:
  2.7.15

Edit 2

Not even aliasing pip helped:

➜  ~ alias pip=pip3
➜  ~ pyenv virtualenv 3.7.2 jupyter3
pyenv: pip: command not found

The `pip' command exists in these Python versions:
  2.7.15

You can just create a similink as such

ln -s /usr/bin/pip3 /usr/bin/pip

Now calling pip will actually be pip3.

Note : This doenst work if python was installed with brew, as the directory isnt /usr/bin, as pointed out in below comment.
